@bisq-network/contributors, please submit any compensation requests by EOD on Thursday January 31st.

As usual, instructions can be found at https://docs.bisq.network/dao/phase-zero.html#how-to-request-compensation. Thanks.

To match the setup of the Bisq DAO on Testnet, we'll have an additional review day on February 1st and the voting takes place from 2nd to 4th of February.

Please also add your compensation request within the Bisq DAO Testnet in one of the next voting cycles for testing [1]. Thanks!

@ripcurlx the compensation request is greyed out in the testnet DAO. When will the proposal phase be available roughly? Also I assume the BSQ address has to be used from the mainnet DAO as before, right?

The Bisq DAO Testnet compensation request is just for testing, the real voting will still take place in the spreadsheet. I think the next voting phase on Testnet will start some time tomorrow or the day after (depending on your timezone).

@bisq-network/contributors As the proposal phase is active right now on Testnet, please file your compensation requests there as well. You can link your CR also if it is still [WIP], but it would be great if we have a mirror state on Testnet this time and also do the voting in the voting spreadsheet and on Testnet! Thanks!

@bisq-network/contributors All compensation requests that will be added to the voting spreadsheet end of today are already assigned to the corresponding contributor and moved to discussion. Please review and comment if necessary on the compensation requests today. Thanks!

[ripcurlx]

@bisq-network/contributors Compensation requests have been staged in the BSQ stake and vote tracking spreadsheet, and the voting period is now open.

The specific worksheet for this month is at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xlXDswj3251BPCOcII-UyWlX7o7jMkfYBE-IZ5te5Ck/edit#gid=476879080

Voting instructions are at https://docs.bisq.network/dao/phase-zero.html#how-to-vote.

Some of you will be voting for the first time and will need access. Just request it and I'll grant it.

Please don't forget that we are voting this time again based on the Natural delegation on DAO voting proposal. Only vote +1 on compensation requests you can evaluate and do know about, for all other compensation requests vote 0 to show your intention to delegate your vote.

Please complete your voting by EOD on Monday February 4th.

Thanks all!
